Free Radical Generation
- Molecular classification
- Chemical Process, Redox Reaction, Oxidation
01
Overview
Free radical generation is the process by which free radicals, atoms, molecules, or ions with unpaired electrons, are produced. These species are highly reactive and can cause oxidative stress, leading to cellular damage and contributing to various diseases and aging. While they play a role in some physiological processes at low concentrations, excessive generation overwhelms antioxidant defenses, leading to pathological consequences.
